I'm finding it enjoyable but I'm a bit annoyed the alien missions start with a full grown alien, as one of the best alien missions in AvP2 was being a facehugger and trying to find a host.
I've only played a few missions but overall it seems to be AvP2 with less backstory/lore and better graphics. I really enjoyed the interlinking stories and excellent writing in AvP2 so I'll withhold judgement on AvP(3) until I'm deeper into the game. The aliens also seem to be less scary somehow.. I don't know.. some of the atmosphere feels lost somehow.. I can't really explain it.
Running down a hallway spiraling across the surfaces... Never bothered me, but made friends of mine really sick.
Overall it's better I think. I'm looking at AvP2 through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia. It would look awful next to modern games today.
It's a very pretty game with some very nice graphics, but it feels utterly devoid of soul.
